Destination Nowhere

Amazing !! tomorrow is just a song

Judge Comment:

When the subject of Alzheimer's is placed in a poem, to adorn the words with a beautifully flowing rhyme scheme is the perfect touch, this piece was flawless in a billowy rhythm, making it comfortable to read, for the message is bound to make the reader cry.
It leaves you drenched in sadness, and yet the author added an elegant feeling for the poem itself.
Alzheimer's is a train ride to nowhere and at the end, it's a wreckage, leaving the mind in devastation.
I admire the angle of family to loved one inflicted.. and perhaps it's also displayed from start to finish, as the patient progresses with this tragic disease.
I've read numerous poems about this subject matter and I have to say this is one that stands above the rest.

Awesome poem !

Sadly many people's lives are blighted by Dementia/Alzheimers in it's various debilitating forms and folk will find solace here with Hellon's brilliantly crafted eulogy to this terrible illness!

This poem is remarkable. can't stop reading it

I am not sure, but were this intentional?

What do you you think of? <----- double You.

in your beautiful mind
searching faces for answers
that you'll never find.

Memory Lane calls
you walk down it each day <--- the IT?
without leaving your chair
in your mind of decay.

-- When I read this piece I got the impression the narrator was talking to someone who had alzheimer and the narrator observed that someone so well, while doing that the narrator narrates to the reader and it shows us how that someone behaved. . Good read.
